As we head into the final weeks of July, the area is absolutely buzzing with community spirit.
Whether you are looking to entertain the kids now that schools are breaking up, hoping to catch some local culture, or just wanting an excuse to enjoy some great food and sunshine, our local organisers have truly delivered.
Here is a pick of the very best events happening locally over the next seven days.
Ongoing: Wokingham Art Society Exhibition
Before we dive into specific days, a quick reminder that the Wokingham Art Society’s 2026 annual two-week exhibition is currently underway.
It is a fantastic showcase of local talent featuring everything from ceramics and wood carving to paintings and glassware.
If you have a spare hour this week, it is well worth popping in to support our local creators.

Sunday, July 26: Family Fun Day, Maiden’s Green.
A top pick for parents is happening this weekend at Stirrups Hotel.
It is a completely free-entry afternoon packed with non-stop entertainment. The kids can exhaust themselves at the Little Panda Soft Play or get painted by Dali Ballooni, while the adults can enjoy wood-fired pizzas, BBQ favorites, and the bar.
There will even be a live steel band providing the soundtrack to the afternoon. Parking is very limited, so walk down if you can, or arrive early.
Monday, July 27: Wildfire roadshow
Start your next week with something completely different.
The Wildfire Roadshow is offering families a chance to meet the brave folks who fight local and regional fires.
It is educational, deeply important given the July heat, and a big hit with kids who love fire engines.
If you are planning to go, head to the main car park for Wildmoor Heath on Sandhurst Road in Crowthorne.
It is completely free, and you can just drop in.
